Josiah sat outside the hospital's emergency room in a chair, looking tired. His eyes were red as he stared intensely at the emergency room door. Once full of energy, he now seemed worn and aged.

He clenched his fists tightly, but his body trembled uncontrollably. The corridor was eerily quiet, with no one in sight.

He was unable to hold back any longer, and tears began to stream down his face.

They are highly skilled. Kelly is usually well-cared for, and I'm sure nothing serious will happen to her."

"What happened exactly?" Zephyr frowned. "How did her condition suddenly become so severe? And Arya..."

Josiah grabbed Zephyr's hand, his eyes pleading. "Zephyr, you must help me find Arya... Now that she's missing, and Kelly's life hangs in the balance, I truly don't know how to go on living if something happens to both of them."
